Large initiatives implemented and built in China’s colleges and universities have delivered excellent results in terms of data governance. During the digital revolution, data governance has emerged as a research priority in academic management and scientific decision-making.
The nation’s Secretary and Minister of the Education Ministry Huai Jinpeng claims that China is advancing comprehensive reform in education and continually boosting the drive and energy of educational advancement.
Additionally, they support the digitalisation of education that quickens the pace of the national education digitalisation strategy, develops the national smart education platform into a significant public service product, creates a new model of data-driven education governance, supports ongoing educational reform and innovation, and contribute to the creation of a large learning society and nation.
The country will also concentrate on enhancing data empowerment and enhancing the efficiency of teaching and educating people during the age of digital transformation.
Aside from the expansion of high-quality resources, the advancement of digital education generates vast amounts of data treasures that aid nations in understanding the rules governing instruction, student development, and the integration of science and humanities education, advance engineering education and the development of practical skills, and benefit students in general.
Using technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and big data, Minister Jinpeng stated, they would advance precise and high-efficiency education governance.
Lei Chaozi, Director of the Ministry of Education’s Department of Science, Technology, and Information Technology emphasised the value of comprehending the national strategy for education digitalisation and placing an emphasis on talent development.
They seek to combine digital concepts, technologies, and thinking while using resources and data as fresh production inputs. There will be an effort to investigate novel digital education techniques and approaches. To simplify administrative work for instructors and students, they will also set up an educational digitalisation resource supply system that includes a basic education database.
The Secretary of the Party Committee and President of the China Academy of Educational Sciences, Li Yongzhi, further clarified that the two main goals of digital education are to empower education through technology and to aid in the nation’s digital transformation.
Its objectives include raising digital citizenship awareness, developing responsible digital citizens, and encouraging passion, initiative, and creativity for a common future.
In the context of empowering people through digital technology, expanding education and teaching reform is essential. This calls for data-driven, individualised instruction, thorough evaluation procedures, creative teaching methods that make use of AI, augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and blockchain technologies, gamified learning, and the empowerment of teachers through cooperative human-skill interactions.
The reengineering of education management and service processes is essential to the digital revolution of education as the traditional processes must be analysed and organised. Also, complete data processes must be established, intelligent technology must be used for data coordination and storage processes must be made simpler through data governance, and a new digital business logic loop must be established.
Hence, the reengineering of education management and service processes is finished with the combination of physical and digital components.
China has given the introduction and development of digitalisation inside its educational system a top priority since it recognises the crucial role that it plays in academia. The Chinese government and educational institutions have implemented several initiatives and regulations that clearly understand the significance of digitalisation.
